Budapest Opera House will enchant you not only with its ballet and opera performances but with its fine neo-Renaissance architecture.
The building fits well in with the similary elegant neighbourhood on Andrássy Avenue. Hungary's greatest Historicist architect, Miklós Ybl designed the building for the Millennium celebrations in 19th century.
Construction started in 1875 and the building was finished in 1884. Ybl oversaw the work himself with painstaking care.
